His Domineering Lover

"Abortion it is." Dustin said in a low voice.

Emilia trembled and her eyes fell on Lainey.

"Dad, an abortion would..."

"I don't care!" Dustin spoke so firmly that he did not give Lainey a chance to refuse.

Charlotte squinted her eyes with a smile. "Do you have any other plans?

"What are you trying to do with this child?"

Being seen through, Lainey looked away, but her expression was unusually calm.

Because of what Charlotte said, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Is there something you're not telling me?" Marcos looked at Lainey and seemed to agree with Charlotte. Lainey looked up at Marcos, then at Emilia, who was crying, and said softly, "I want to marry Emilia off." "Hahaha, that's funny. You think an eligible man would want to marry a pregnant woman?"

Charlotte's laughter echoed in the living room, shrill and harsh.

"Who would want her?" Marcos was fuming with anger. He wondered what was wrong with Lainey.

Did she have a brain or not?

"Tell me, who do you want her to marry?" Dustin pointed at Emilia, his finger trembling.

Lainey swallowed hard as if she had made up her mind and slowly said, "Adrian!"

"Aunt Lainey, how-how can you do this? You know Adrian is my fiance.

"Why are you doing this to me? Did I do anything wrong? I don't understand."

Aleigha was both shocked and disgusted. Had Lainey and Emilia gone mad?

She couldn't believe that they hadn't given up on Adrian yet.

"What do you think you are? You want your stupid daughter to marry Adrian?" There was a rare anger in Charlotte's voice.

Lainey and Emilia were just impossible.

"Heh heh, Adrian? Fine, let's go to the Xiao Residence now. We'll see what Adrian has to say."

A trace of loss flashed across Lainey's face, but soon she gave a sweet smile. "Dad, Emilia's your granddaughter. What's she gonna do if you don't help her?

"Do you really want to push her over the edge?" Tears were trickling down her cheeks, and her expression changed from calm to sorrowful.

Seeing this, Aleigha sneered in her heart and her eyes grew colder.

"Dad, you know, I'm pregnant. Maybe this one will be a boy. You always want a grandson."

Aleigha knew right away what Lainey was up to. Playing the pregnant-with-a-boy card?

Dustin and Marcos seemed a little convinced.

"Grandpa, it's fine. You can go to the Xiao family and ask Adrian to marry my sister. No one in this family ever cared about me anyway.

"I'm just an insignificant outsider to you guys. You can trample on my dignity all you want.

"Since that's the case, I'm out of here."

Aleigha let go of Dustin's hand and turned to leave.

"Don't go! What is happening? Dustin, what are you thinking? Have you forgotten how ridiculous Emilia is?

"She tired to seduce Adrian, her future brother-in-law, and she ended up having sex with a stranger. Now she's pregnant, and she still wants to marry Adrian?

"Isn't she a disgrace to the Gardner family? Do you really think Adrian is an idiot?"

Charlotte's face was full of disappointment. Her patriarchal brother had been cheated by Lainey many times.

Lainey went from a mistress to Marcos's wife because she said she was having a boy.

But the truth was, it was a girl.

Charlotte took Aleigha by the hand and prevented her from leaving.

"I tell you, I won't let you guys bully Aleigha." Charlotte really felt sorry for Aleigha.

She had to protect this poor child.

Dustin didn't say anything. He'd got a lot of mixed emotions. Marcos, con the other hand, looked at Lainey with tenderness. There was no longer anger in his eyes.

"Grandaunt, I know you don't like me, but I'm the victim! Why can't Adrian be my fiance?"

Charlotte gave Emilia a hard look. "You should know it better than me."

Aleigha couldn't be more disappointed. "Grandaunt, forget it. I know they never thought of me as family."

With that said, Aleigha turned around to leave. Charlotte hurriedly followed her.

"Wait!"

It was Marcos. Aleigha stopped and turned to look

at him.

"Let Emilia marry Adrian if Adrian's okay with it." Marcos seemed to have made up his mind, and his eyes were cold when he looked at Aleigha. Aleigha gave a brittle laugh inwardly, and her face was full of sadness and helplessness. "If that's what you want, I have no problem." Lainey's last card was her unborn child.

Lainey knew how much Dustin and Marcos preferred boys, so she those things on purpose.

"Just wait and see." Aleigha thought.

She left without looking back. In her memory, Lainey never had a boy. Therefore, she was sure that Lainey was lying.

"Aleigha, come back!" Charlotte tried to stop Aleigha, but Marcos pulled her hand.

"Aunt, forget it."

"You beast! Isn't she your daughter? Why are you doing this to her? You're gonna ruin the Gardner family! Get out of my way."

Charlotte angrily shook off Marcos's hand and went straight back to her room.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Coming out of the Gardner family,

ét

Aleigha took a deep breath. Only then did she realize that she was still wearing pajamas, so she had to turn back to the Gardner family

As soon as she came in, she saw Lainey chatting happily with Emilia. Neither of them looked sad.

Marcos seemed to have calmed down. Dustin sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Aleigha sneered in her heart. These people underestimated Adrian. Did they think Adrian would be stupid enough to believe Emilia was having his child?

Adrian was with her that night. There was no way Emilia's lies were gonna work.

She'd love to see how Emilia would wind this matter up.

She was really pathetic. She was also Miss Gardner, but no one cared about her feelings.

Aleigha ignored them and kept walking.

When she walked past Emilia, she seemed to hear a ridiculing sneer.

She stopped and turned to look at

Emilia coldly. "You know what? Adrian's not a fool. You better figure out how to lie to him without him finding out."

"What did you say?" Emilia asked sternly, glaring at Aleigha.

Aleigha's lips curled up into a meaningful smile. Then, she went straight back to her room.
